AE7AE7
Oh, my baby, baby, I love you more than I can tell,
AA7DAE7AE7
I don't think I can live with - out you, and I know that I never will,
AE7AE7
Oh, my baby, baby, I want you so, it scares me to death,
AA7D
I can't say any - more than 'I love you!',
AE7F#mEm
Everything else is a waste of breath!
EmGCBEm
I want you! You've had your fun, you don't get well no more,
EmGCBEbm
I want you! Your fingernails go dragging down the wall,
BCB
Be careful, darling, you might fall!
EmGCBEm
I want you! I woke up, and one of us was crying,
GCBEm
I want you! You said, 'Young man, I do believe you're dying!'
GCBEm
I want you! If you need a second o - pinion, as you seem to do, these days,
GCB
I want you! You can look in my eyes,
EbmBCCB
And you can count the ways! | /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
EmGCBEm
I want you! Did you mean to tell me, but seem to for - get?
GCBEm
I want you! Since when were you so generous, and inar - ticulate?
GCBEmG
I want you, but it's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for,
CBEm
It's the way your shoulders shake, and what they're shaking for,
GCBEm
I want you! It's knowing that he knows you now, after only guessing,
GCB
It's the thought of him un - dressing you,
EbmBCCB
Or... you undressing! | /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
EmGCBEm
I want you! He tossed some tatty compliment your way
GCB
I want you, and you were fool e - nough to love it...
EbmEmGCB
...When he said, 'I---- want you!'
E(B5)no3

EmGCBEm
I want you! The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark,
GCBEm
It scares you witless, but, in time, you see things clear and stark,
GCBEm
I want you! Go on, and hurt me, then we'll let it drop,
GCBEm
I want you! I'm afraid I won't know where to stop,
GCBEm
I want you! I'm not ashamed to say, I cried for you!
GCBEm
I want you! I want to know the things you did, that we did too,
GCBEm
I want you! I want to hear he pleases you more than I do,
GCBEm
I want you! I might as well be useless for all it means to you,
GCBEm
I want you! Did you call his name out as he held you down?
GCBEm
I want you! Oh, no, my darling, not with that clown,
GCB
I----- want you!
EmGCBEm
I want you! You've had your fun, you don't get well no more,
GCBEbm
I want you! No one who wants you, could want you more!
EmGCBEmGCB
| / / / / | I want you! | / / / / | I want you!
EmGCBEm
I want you! Every night, when I go off to bed,
GCB
And when I wake up, I want you!
EmGCBEmG
I'm gonna say it once again, till I instill it-----,
CBEmG
I'm going... going to feel this way un - til you... kill it-----,

I want you! | / / / / | I--- want you!
